Also AA142 is late enough to be a lunch flight rather than breakfast. Which is a plus for me, at any rate.
Hopefully as a gold you'd get something reasonable in that section of the plane.
That might be the better option. I wonder if it would be worth it just purchasing two economy tickets. I check premium economy, I can get economy over and PE back for the same that I could just purchase toe economy tickets. Of course I wouldn't earn miles on those, though.
